To determine
Introduction:
Tolerable Rate is defined as the maximum rate of acceptability of misstatement. It’s the largest variance accepted in audit sampling in order to rely upon a specific control.
Expected Population Deviation Rate is the rate expected to exist in the population. The expected deviation rate represents the auditor's best estimate of the actual failure rate of a control in a population.
Allowance for Sampling Risk can be defined as uncertainties associated with sampling. It is the difference between tolerable deviation and mean of population.
To describe: Relationship between tolerable deviation and expected deviation plus allowance risk.

Explain how the following test of control will affect the sample size?
a. An increase in the extent to which the auditor's risk assessment takes into account relevant controls
b. An increase in the tolerable rate of deviation
c. An increase in the expected rate of deviation of the population to be tested
The upper precision limit (CUER) in statistical sampling is(1) the percentage of items in a sample that possess a particular attribute.(2) the percentage of items in a population that possess a particular attribute.(3) a statistical measure, at a specified confidence level, of the maximum rate ofoccurrence of an attribute.(4) the maximum rate of exception that the auditor would be willing to accept inthe population without altering the planned reliance on the attribute.
When using sampling in the study of internal control, the audit team would compare theupper limit rate of deviation to thea. Expected population deviation rate.b. Sample rate of deviation.c. Statistical rate of deviation.d. Tolerable rate of deviation
